Ah yes, youkai can also be really cute and take on animal-like forms in this series so it's not surprising to see a fox one.

Glad they're giving Yahiko a chance this season. He's a really underrated character compared to the main characters.

The youkai who likes hide and seek is able to find another youkai for old youkai. That little youkai who was afraid of it is now getting friendly to the extend that it doesn't want to go back to kakuriyo.

It tries to change form like the youkai who likes hide and seek. Then it begins to lose power. It's like that when the two arrived.

Oh, so it seems like it was hungry that lost power.

It said it will go unless hide and seek youkai go with it. Wait, he wants to go, too?!

Main guy suggesting to get him to the world the next day in order to fulfill little one's wish. It seems like little one likes his suggestion.

Little girl is helping brushing him.

After hanging out more, it's hide and seek youkai's turn who doesn't want to leave the little one when it's time to leave. He was also able to say goodbye to it.

Hide and seek youkai approving main guy, but too proud to say so in person.

It's time to see the two new characters in person next.

I felt lonely this episode. Yahiko's actress did a fantastic job.

Abeno and Hanae's interactions are quite comedic as always.

I remember seeing the old man, but I can't remember who he was at all.

Yahiko's so proud that he can't even tell Hanae his true feelings. haha.

Every time I see the ending, I fall in love with it more. Apparently it was sung by an utaite that I kind of liked. I thought his name was World Peace or Wall Piece Cutter. Never would have guessed it to be Wolpis Kater.

Moja gets arrested next episode. lol. I am deathly curious to know why.

That was heartbreaking and emotional. Wasn't expecting to cry, especially to this show. Glad to see genuine emotional stories.

Such a heartbreaking episode, Kinako was the cutest thing ever. I want that as a pet, damn the cuteness was on steroids on this episode.

That was very good content and emotional.

All I can really say is there was no way I was emotionally prepared for this episode, specially as I presumed it was gonna stay more on track with the plot of the exectutive (which according to the next time thing will be)

Wanna know why Yahiko cant go to the otherside ( I cant remeber if we found out last season but i dont think we did)

Yahiko is the most annoying character in Mononokean. Kinako is almost as annoying as him. This episode was the worst.

This episode made me bawl. Why didnt Yahiko go too??? That was the saddest shit. And tiny Kinako crying on the way to the underworld. Man, it got me in the heart. I hope we see her again this season, hopefully returning stronger and in cute girl humanoid form

I'm so upset with myself right now. I decided to watch this episode before others I had on list because it was supposed to be cute and lighthearted.

It was extremely cute, not gonna deny it. But man, I cried a lot with this one. Never expected this anime to make me cry and feel so sad.

I FINALLY WATCHED IT!!

i didn't know why i put a hold on watching the past few episodes but i'm finally catching up now. and this, this is so much heartbreaking animated, i cried waterfalls. fuck. Kinako-chan's voice was very cute and i love how they animated her first encounter with Yahiko. this anime isn't godly when it comes to animation but i still love it nonetheless. the simplicity of the backgrounds makes you focus on the characters more. and absolutely loved it when Abeno smiled when Kinako thanked him, my heart flew out lol. a scene i like to talk about is definitely the Bye Bye scene, in the manga you can't really visualize it so i loved that when Kinako finally left, you could hear her cries as she runs through the tunnel to the underworld, it was so fucking heartbreaking, i bawled for a solid ten minutes and had to pause the episode because i couldn't focus with all those tears. this is probably one of the better episodes, loved it!

I tried to search at season 1 and everything that I found is that Yahiko will spend one year helping at Zenko's temple as a punishment for putting a seal on her (and he wanted to play more with Abeno)

Aww, one of the most beautiful episodes of Fukigen na Mononokean. It warmed and softened my heart.
Kinako-chan is the cutest yokai ever. I loved her bond with Yahiko.

Confirmed Yahiko is now tsundere for Ashiya.

that was touching. I can't believe I felt so sad for them after just one episode

and obviously there is a reason why the yoko doesn't want to go to the underworld. saying he had to stay and work at the temple was just a convenient excuse. there is something else that's preventing him. he may just be afraid for all we know

Damn... I was not ready for this. I signed up for lighthearted funny yokai stuff and not for feelings. Why are you doing this to me D: It's been quite a while that a show brought me this close to tears. I swear if I had to say even a single word during that final there definitely would have been tears... Took all my focus to hold it back...

Kinako saying "Bye bye" for the third time without getting a response and then turning away sad and disappointed really broke my heart... Yahiko, that dumbass! I understand he didn't like it but he should have said Goodbye properly! At least Ashiya had the guts to wake upYahiko. He still wasn't honest when he finally responded but it's better than nothing.

I really hope they meet Kinako again later in the series. Even though it was just this one episode Kinako left a big impression! It can't be over with this sad excuse of a good bye from Yahiko after Kinako tried soo hard for him!

Bye Bye, Kinako...
